Porsche Panamera.

Kowalski · 08-12-2005, 12:14 PM

Original article in German, translated to English:

Sportier than a Mercedes Benz CLS, roomier than a BMW 6-series, stronger than a Jaguar XKR: With the Panamera, Porsche wants to reinterpret the Gran Turismo concept.

The roof line and the form of the rear side windows, orient themselves to 911, the rear flap, we know from the 944 and 928, the lights remind the Boxster.

The engines are well-known in principle from the Cayenne (V8, photo) and the Carrera GT (V10).

The piston displacement of the V10 (photo) might rise from 5,7 to 6,5 litres. While the Sauger in the achievement is easily taken back, 700 Bhp are and more in it with the Biturbo. Likewise again: the double clutch transmission.

Looking at those, Photoshop pics, I have to say: It's not exactly a pretty car.

It looks like a bloated 911 and those headlights are a rip-off from the Mercedes CLS.

At least, the 6.5 V10 700 Bhp engine is quite impressive.

Not even, the Carrera GT is that powerful, but then, about the time, when the Panamera will be released - in 2009 - the Carrera GT will not be available anymore.

Porsche announced, they will drop the Carrera GT for 2006.

are you high?? those headlights aren't a ripoff of any MB car, they're styled after those of the new cayenne. and it looks way sleeker than the CLS will ever be. if it was a bloated 911, it would look like a GTI.

-thanks for the article and pics.

Kowalski is a little lacking in the real of reality forgive him... after all he like Saabs...

That is a classily clean design, following in the steps of 911 tradition.

If I was a rich man.... alas designing cars doesn't pay very well

Front reminds me of an elegent Euro Viper.....I love the cars looks...and I like how Porsce is starting to tweak with their old stagnant design

FightingChance · 08-16-2005, 08:09 PM

Looks pretty hot - I like how the c pillar integrates into the rear glass. The small seperation at the front quarters I don't like though.

JBsZ06 · 08-16-2005, 08:15 PM

Whats the price of this four door ? 130 grand? 180 grand?
Great car....but way too much cabbage for me.

Thanks for the photo.

If it was for ex. an Alfa Romeo or Pontiac,I would say I like the way it looks,but this car doesn't deserve the Porsche name

A 4 door Porsche?
What's next? An Audi truck?
nevermind.

91z4me · 08-17-2005, 02:50 PM

I am going to be the first on my block to have one, a kit car version that is. I think this car looks really slick.

In case people haven't read about it, topspeed revealed has a review on the convertible Porsche Panamera, featuring details about the car as well as a few photos and wallpapers.

"Though it has yet to be confirmed by company big-wigs, Automotive News has reported that Porsche is on its way to making a convertible version of the Porsche Panamera. Unlike the standard hard-top Panamera, the convertible version will come in a two-door variety, partly to increase the car’s rigidity to compensate for the added weight that comes with the soon-to-be-added soft-top roof..."

Here's the whole article:

And also the wallpaper gallery:

Autocar recently pitted the Porsche Panamera against the Jaguar XFR. The Jag won, and it's 30,000 GBP cheaper! So if I was in the market for such a car I'd wait and see what the XJR is like because by all acounts that's even better. Or if I was really rich I'd buy the Aston Martin rapide when it comes out.

The Panamera is OK but why not simply stretch a 911?

CACressida · 10-16-2009, 02:06 AM

It's not about who won, its about the vehicle itself. When your buying a car in this price range, your not shopping for a good deal lmao. You ask me what I'd buy if I had that kind of money, it'd definetly be the Porsche. Its a unique vehicle, not to mention, a sexy one too!

A porsche is just one of those cars you can't attempt to put down because they're so good at what they do and they do it well. My 2 cents.
